Luckily, Sagesse was found and helicoptered to safety by the United Nations, and earlier this month, Sagesse made a new home at the Lwiro Primate Rehabilitation Center in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

A veterinarian, Dr. Kuzito Kalule, took immediate medical action for the sick chimp, and by the time his helicopter landed, Sagesse was in good health. "Now it's time to become a chimp again!" the organization wrote.

Part of learning to be a chimp again was to meet new friends. But little did Sagesse know that the love of his life, Wenga, an orphaned chimp found alone and brought to Lwiro earlier this month, was just around the corner.

After a brief quarantine period, last week, Sagesse was deemed healthy enough to meet Wenga.

The moment the two orphans finally met was caught on camera.

"This must be one of the most heartbreaking moments we have seen in a long time," Lwiro wrote. "[B]aby Sagesse and Wenga came in at almost the same time. After their initial checks were clear, we decided to let them meet each other. Join us in that pure moment of comfort and love between baby chimpanzees."

When Sagesse and Wenga were put into the same enclosure, they immediately climbed toward each other.
